Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I’ll keep a look out for you John .
I’ve been collecting scout knives going on 25+ years now and have only seen 3 R965 examples .
I would be very interested to know if others know of examples In collections .

I'd have to look to be certain, but I think I've got one with the star shield .

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
A lot of the old Remington Collectors referred to the 900 series as Scout Leader because all but the ones with the star shield had the Scout Leader Hat shield. Not official just what they called them in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Interesting , I don’t recall ever hearing any of the 900 series called that but then again I’m probably the only hard core scout knife collector in the Florida area / shows .
Thanks , Mike

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
By not being a hard core scout knife collector, me as well as a lot of my fellow collector friends past and living probably called it leader incorrectly. I’ve collected over 52 years and collected a little or a lot of about everything, not being an expert in any of them , LOL!! I do however really appreciate you keeping a look out for a pyremite 900 series no matter the shield. Take care, John

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I can't get the pictures to show up. I think that if you click on link you can see the pictures. These knives are pretty rough, I had to dig back pretty deep to get to them. The R965 is not in this group, I'll keep digging.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I think I read somewhere that any respectable knife collection has to have a Remington Muskrat. Not that I have a respectable collection, but I have been looking for a decent one for a little while and found this one recently. Cleaned her up a bit and was happy to see the blades close to 100% and some pretty, dark stag bone. Anyone know if these had etched blades?
Hope you enjoy my pictures in which I tried to capture the complexity of this pattern, the way the bolsters are pieced and surround the spring and the thickness of the spring steel. Pretty interesting and durable design that you don't see on most knives.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
I’ve owned a fare number over the years and none have had etch. Also, old advertising material shows blades without etch. John

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Great looking knife. I think they are a very classy knife. They came with round or square bolsters. Some have a match strike on one nail nick. I dont believe they came with an etch. Good find and thanks for showing us.

Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Nice knife Keith. Love the scales
Re: Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?
Keith, another wonderful Remington, you sure have some great Remingtons.
Picked up a R6163 half Congress, just over 3 3/4", close to full blades, tight with great snap but unfortunately been cleaned.
